[tex] x = 2 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8(4 - x) = 10[/tex]
Expand :
8(4-x) = 32-8x
[tex]32 - 8x = 10[/tex]
Collect like terms and simplify
[tex] - 8x = 10 - 32 \\ - 8x = - 22[/tex]
Divide through by -8
[tex] \frac{ - 8x}{ - 8} = \frac{ - 22}{ - 8} [/tex]
Simplify
[tex]x = 2 \frac{6}{8} \\ \\ x = 2 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
